in their primes: Ricky Hatton vs Zab Judah @ 140

Hatton and its not even close.

Add a poll Philla.

 

Zab. Because I like him better. And I like him better because we're from the same country and we're the same race.



I think I have this ESB thing down to a tee now.

 

Both Glass Jawed fighters. Whoever lands first basically.

 

hatton by stoppage as in his prime he actually threw punches instead of just holding

zab would do good for like 3 rounds and then fade

waste of talent

 

What we taking as Judahs prime?
When he got stopped by Kostya?

 

Hatton has too much heart and power for Judah at any stage of their careers. Ricky would wear Zab down and make him quit.

 

No seriously...


I wouldn't bet on this fight for ****. Zab could spark his ass out. But Hatton could wear down Zab pretty methodically.


I've become a little less willing to make predictions these days. I guess I'm getting old in ESB years or something.

 

50/50

On his game Zab is a superb boxer and a lethal hitter at the weight. If he lands big he may spark Hatton clean out.

If Ricky is on Kostya form, absorbs the hits and keeps coming, then he breaks Judah's heart.

 

Ability wise Judah is on a different level to Hatton, he's a lot quicker and a great counter puncher which would cause Hatton all sorts of problems.

The thing with Hatton he can be pretty relentless and will attempt to make the fight dirty so it's a question if Judah can keep his head when he does do that.

 

Who do you think would win Philla?

I think Ricky in his Prime was more skilled than some give him credit for eg the Tackie fight (he showed a real hit and move strategy that showed off some hidden talent) he was also a really tough granite chinned brawler and i think he would have worn Judah down before stopping him inside 10.

 

I took the easy way out and voted draw because it really is a tough one to predict, would have been a great fight back then.

 

Hatton would win he would make it an ugly hug fest and judah would get frustrated and lose.
